My youngest boy is now 3 years old. It is important to work on his soft motor skills. At this age, I pay more attention to his finger muscles and hand strengthening as it is crucial in helping him to hold the pencil when he starts going to school. Stamping is one of the best activity […]

The boys love craft so much that they even got their hands busy while on vacation. I signed them up for a couple of craft activities and making Sand Candle Art was one of them. Watch this video on how to make a sand candle art. We can DIY this at home. The only question […]

Today’s footprint craft is a remake of our footprint popsicle we did back in 2011 with the elder brother. The younger brother wanted to do it too but is too young to trace his own footprint and cut it out and got the big brother to help him out. The little one is able to […]

Let’s take the kids outdoor today. Crafting doesn’t need to be confined within the four walls. It is more fun to be done outdoors. Kids love playing sand. Give them sand and they can be kept occupied for hours. After they are done playing, I let them enjoy a craft activity. Using glue, I wrote […]

I just realized we have not been updating this blog since late last year. That is what Motherhood does to me. I hardly have time to craft with my kids but as the little one will be turning TWO next month, I’m sure we’ll be updating frequently as he is at the best age to […]

Chinese New Year is just one and a half month away so let’s start making CNY decorations using red packets. For this Red Packet lantern, we’ll be needing TP Rolls too for the core. Wrap the TP Roll with red craft paper. Using only the front part of the red packet wrapper, cut lines down […]

We came across a nice paper plate shark craft by Cindy and her son Trevor from My Creative Life. Cindy uses paper plates, coloured card stocks and googly eyes but we don’t have card stock and googly eyes in hand so we improvised and used only paper plates and colored craft foams instead. Paper Plate Shark […]
